Having patiently worn out his scratching post, Boris enjoys the fruits of all the scratching...a new scratching post box. Sleep well, my catpanion.

#caturday #catsofBlueSky OK, I'm dumping most of the pastimes that have kept me busy - handed off financial worries to professionals, and will largely be leaving politics to all you other Blue Sky folk. Guess what remains? Boris & my new great-grandcat, Brûlé.

Raccoons can climb, but they can't jump! Jinx's feeder is intentionally well off the ground. #raccoonsofBluesky #catsofBlueSky

Big news! #catsofBlueSky Little black cat was snared, with the help of local TNR folk. He seems very docile, as though an escapee, rather than feral. Amazingly, he looks much like Boris.

#CatsofBluesky #Caturday Boris is waiting for the catio to warm up. Was too cold & windy yesterday. Forecast to be in the low 70s today!

#caturday #catsofbuesky Boris has found his perfect box, of the week. And grandcat Ginnie flexes her magnificent tail after a 5 hour ride with the grand pups.

#caturday on the catio. Boris seems OK with 88°. The water sports people are playing. Grandcat Jennie prefers to stay in with AC.

Not just on #caturday, Boris and many other #catsofbluesky like to nap on freshly laundered sheets. His mom prefers non-furry sheets. Rinse and repeat.

#catsofbluesky. I brought a 6 pack of 5 buck Friuli from Costco. On #catboxSunday, Boris prefers the box empty, even if it is a tight squeeze.

OK, so the LBC eats the caffood that Boris loves but can't digest any more. And the possum and the 2 racoons love the caffood. And the coyotes last winter wanted cat for food. But what does Reynaud want?

Bragged that we trained the LBC to make daytime visits. That stopped until I misread the time, & put his food out early. 2 minutes later...

Friday a nasty mix of rain & snow. #caturday cloudy & damp. No feral friend! Worry! 2 minutes after the food went out on #sunsplashSunday, our #littleblackcat is back & munching. 20 min of chewing & watering does not lessen his watchfulness, though. (See clip in reply.)

#CatsofBlueSky For this #ThrowBackThursday, another pic of Boris' late sister, Natasha🌈.
Also, our feral friend, #thelittleblackcat, has adapted to eating only by day. No more feeding nocturnal bandits & marsupials, esp since raccoons can carry rabies, and we want the possums to eat more ticks.

For Marmalade Monday, I present my Grandcat, Ginnie. Today is her gotcha day anniversary. She inherits her magnificent floof from the noble coon cats of Maine.

Had a perfect 60 sec clip, which is what Google Home captures, but Blue sky video must be LESS than 60 seconds. Sorry.

Cold #caturday. 30° feels like 20°. Our feral visitor makes his 2nd attack on the food & warm water this evening, then climbs into the #catsofbluesky house
